Charlie Young: Are you eating a salad?

Toby Ziegler: Yeah.

Charlie Young: Why?

Toby Ziegler: 'Cause I am.

Charlie Young: I don't think I've ever seen you eat a salad. What kind of salad is it?

Toby Ziegler: I don't know.

Charlie Young: Just mixed greens?

Toby Ziegler: I don't know what kind of salad it is, I'm eating a salad, okay? I'm doing it, do I have to know the names? There's no difference between them, it's a bowl of weeds!

[pause]

Toby Ziegler: Some of them have cheese, this isn't the kind with cheese, does that answer your question?

[pause]

Toby Ziegler: Man, how many years have you been: "Toby, you eat like a teenager, Toby, that's red meat, that's your second cigar!" And here I am, eating a salad, which by the way you could smother up this with barbecue sauce, and it would still taste like the ground, and I'm getting heckle from the gallery...who wanted to come in here eating his roast beef sandwich with ketchup on a Kayser roll, and watch the damn tennis on my TV!!

[pause]

Toby Ziegler: That's all I'm saying!

Charlie Young: Man, you're really doing all you can to marry that woman!
